Re: -proof/yes-God doesn't equal +proof/noGod
That's silly. My points are clear and I provide sources to show that I mean something.
​
I haven't seen any sources from you.
​
Your proposition is that there is some kind of evidence you would expect there to be if God existed.
​
Yes. Certainly this is what the theists assert; they have absolutely no problem pointing to things and trying to pass them off as evidence for God.
​
It's hardly fair to say to atheists "oh, you have no idea what the evidence would look like" without doing the same for the theists; of course, it's stupid either way, because you'd have to be pretty unimaginative to draw a complete blank on the question of what evidence for God would look like.
​
You can't - you'll only come up with some impossible standard.
​
It would be impossible for me to do so, give a God defined as "omnipotent." Are you really telling me that the only reason I'm mistakenly concluding that there actually isn't an all-knowing, all-powerful, benevolent God in my universe is because I've set the bar a little too high?
​
I'm supposed to take that seriously? Little ol' me is simply asking too much from God? Hilarious!

Re: ADDENDUM OF NOTORIOUS GARGANTUA
I also don't think atheists are arrogant, just the conclusion that; "it is not possible God exists".
​
I don't see that anybody's come to that conclusion. It's entirely possible for God to exist; he just doesn't, as far as we can tell.

Re: God the Fictional Character
We are, in a sense, arguing whether God is a fictional character or not.
​
That argument is over. We proved it; you don't seem to be able to marshal a response. What's left to argue about?

Re: Still trying to change the subject
James Bond is in lots of books, as well, so we have good written evidence for his existence.
​
Fun fact - James Bond actually did exist, he was an ornithologist that Ian Fleming knew, and borrowed his name with permission for his novels.
